Pyro Independence Day

"Under Vermont State law, it is permitted to have fireworks that crackle and fizzle in a public area without a permit."

"Heh-haaaay man! I've got more! Anyone got a lighter?"

"Uh, man? You ever done this before?"

"Naw, not really, but I've got the idea."

"Cool, just, you're lighting the grass on fire."

"It's all part of the experience. Woops!"

"The whick's gone."

"That's alright, I'll just light the rest of it."

"Uh-huh. Everyone step back a bit more."

"And presto! We've got it. Ouch!"

"That it?"

"Let's light the rest of them altogether!"

"No, come on!"

"Too late! Oh, hmmm... that's interesting."

"Stick 'em in the ground!"

"I think you throw this one and it pops."

"Dude. Epic."

"It wasn't supposed to do that. Was it?"

"Who cares?"

I don't think you were there

I don't think you were there when Dodds stuffed a bunch of fireworks inside of a monster can... and melted it...

Your dialogue is immensely entertaining, as usual.
